Quick question (not as stupid as it sounds!), which stock in a lamb stew?

Hi there,

Now ideally I'd have lamb stock... but we don't have it very often (this was on whoopsie).

I have beef stock cubes OR chicken or veg 'real' stock and I'm making a mixed veg and lamb stew.

What do you think would give the best flavour please?

Thanks in advance

    I would personally use the vegetable stock but I guess its one of those personal preference things :)
    Enjoy it whatever you go with.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I would go with the vegetable especially as it is real, although we bought some lamb ones yesterday, I had never seen them before

    Seems like a unanimous decision then, and it's what I was thinking too...

    Thanks very much!
